OKEflON CITY ENTEUPRISK FRIDAY', MAY 3, 1912. For the Children A Pennaylvani Boy nd Hit Queer Pet r f i - y if - ," ... Photo by C M. Barnllx. Children as a rule arc Interested In chickens, esiecially the wee "peeps" that bave just come out of tbe shell And what better fun for youngster tban tbe care of a flock? Tbe crowing roosters, cackling bona and sprightly chicks are attractive, and tbe gath ering of eggs from their own (lock and taking them- to niotherls joy for any boy or girl. Poultry care Is a nitture study and for that reason is good for the young folks. It is good for any child who can do so to bave a few tor their very own. Tbe boy In the pic ture has made a pet of a Mg Brabuia ben. Caps For the Doll. When a doll's hair bus been worn way around her forehead so that it is no longer pretty it Is a good plan to put a narrow band of velvet or satin ribbon around the forehead to conceal the worn parts. The ends are fastened in the back with a little pin. Tbe bntr Is puffed above this and made up In a kind of knot on the buck of tbe bend. If tbe doll's balr has been entirely spoiled she will have to wear caps. Just now it Is very fasblonuble to have a number of these caps, some for morn ing and some for evening wear. Tbe morning raps are called boudoir caps, and those meant for evening wear are called theater caps. Tbe caps are made of fine white material net or chiffon, and they are exactly like tbe caps that real people are now wearing. There is a full crown and a ruffle of lace around tbe face. Small flowers and little bows of ribbon are used to deco rate tbe caps. Tbey may also be made of $old brocade or gold gauze oVer a colored silk lining. FAMOUSBASEBALL STARS PASS OUT Many Veterans Missing From Gig Leagues This Season. SENT BACK TO THE BUSHES. Numerous Old Timer Will Cavort Around on Minor Laagu Diamonds, While a Numbar of Stars Have Quit Active Playing. Vale Lock Tag. This outdoor game for boys originat ed at the Yale University Summer School of Physical Training and was a favorite. Tbe class wished the game to have a name that would sug gest Its birthplace, and so It became "Tale lock tag." Tbe players form In twos, with tbetr arms locked, and scatter over tbe playground. One player Is selected for runner and another for chaser. The chaser tries to tag the runner, who may save himself by locking arms with any one of a couple. This compels the third player to leave his partner and take the place of the run ner. To make the game most Interesting there should be constant changes, and one player should not try to see how long he can run uncaught, but should lock arms with some one as soon as possible.

' The first thing that strikes the tra.n ger In Davoa, Switzerland, and strikes him unpleasantly U the bells. Not only does every cow, goat and sheep wear lta bell, but when they are all hut tip for the winter and we hope for a little rest then comes the Infernal, eta real din from every cart, carriage, sleigh, omnibus and all otber kinds of rehlcla which ply for hire or other wise. No doubt they become a neces sity on the silent highways aa winter progreaaea, but that does not render them on bit mora palatable, Though tbe season of 1011 was a banner year for the development and discovery of young phenoms. it also saw the passing of a remarkable num ber of old stars. Many of these vet erans who drew their Inst major league salary check at the close of last sea son were stars of the first magnitude when some of the 1011 fledglings were being introduced to knee trousers There is always a pathetic side when a new find Is discovered. Every time a Marty O'Toole, a Grover Cleveland Alexander or a Joe Jackson Is discov ered It means that some old fellow whose legs are beginning to stiffen and wbose batting eye Is getting dim will have to pack bis grip aud take the inevitable trip on the "minor league specials." Among the former stars who bave Tolunturily retired from active serv Ice or have beeu released since tbe be ginning of the 11)11 campaign are such well known men as Kred Clarke. Kred Tenney.

Father Time was particularly severe on former star first suckers. Though Frank Cbauce bus nnnounred be will again play first fcase this season, most critics seem Inclined to believe that the season of 1911 marked the end of "Husk's" career as a playing man ager. Frank may play this year, but it Is doubtful If he will ever be the Frank Chance of old But even If Chance hangs on for an other year, three former star first base men. Harry Dnvls. Fred Tenney and Kitty Bransfield. hove completed their I big league careers. Davis, the Cleve land Naps' new pilot, has announced that be will be a bench manager, al though be may occasionally take a whack at the ball In a pinch. However. he says be Is through as a first base man. Tenney will scout for Boston this season, and Kitty Bransfield will play with Louisville. Fred Clarke has said be Is through as a player. So sure Is the Kan sun that he will keep bis word that be has wagered twenty -one suits of clothes that be will not even take up a bat Ip the pinch. As twenty-one suits woulc put a hole even In the buccaneer chief tain's pocketbook. It may be taken for granted that Clarke Is sincere Griff, tha Headsman. Two former star outfielders will be managers In the minors this season. They are Charley Hemphill and Topsy Hartsel The former New Yorker Is In charge of tbe Atlanta Southern league club, while Connie Mack's one time speed merchant Is looking after the destinies of the Toledo Mud Ileus of the American association.

Wld Conroy; Doc Gessler. formerly with Brooklyn, tbe Chicago Cubs and the Boston Red Sox: "Dolly" Gray, tbe Golden State pitcher. and Jack LellrelL One of tbe greatest third basemen the game has ever produced played his last game In the fast set last sea son namely. Harry Steinfeldt, tbe for mer star third sucker of tbe Cubs. Steiuy played with the Bostons last season, but illness soon compelled bim to desist Jesse Tannehlll, the former star left bander of tbe Pirates. Highlanders and Boston Red Sox, finished bis big league career In Cincinnati. That Big Deal. It seems strange that all four of tbe pitchers Involved in tbe big deal of 1910 between Griffith and Dooln should bave been sent back to the bushes the same year. McQuillen, Uoren, Bee lie and Rowan were tbe taen Involved, and all of them bad teen In the big leagues from three to five years. George Schlel, tbe former Giant and Cincinnati mainstay, got his uncondi tional release shortly after tbe 1911 season opened. George was recently signed by tbe Cubs, but he has been shipped to Louisville. "Dutch" Schmidt, the white bope of tbe pro fession, who at one time was almost the entire Tiger catching staff, has been sent to Navln'a farm In Provi dence. Schmidt was the Tigers' first catcher in tbe world's series of 1907, 190S and 1909. and his poor work prov ed a big handicap to Jennings' war flora. Good form Man'a Visiting Carda. A man's visiting card Is for some In scrutable reason decidedly smaller than a womuu's. The shape Is long and nar row, the length being uciuly or quite twice the width. A mini may have the address of his house or his club on his visiting card if he likes, but usually bo does uot Perhaps this apparent mod esty on his part is iu reality duo to the fact thut his wife, mother or sister of ten does the formal visiting for the family. Since ber card contains tho address It Is not strictly necessary that bis should do so. A young mat) who is a favorite In society knows that people who want to Invite him will take the trouble to look up bis residence tu tbe directory. In the case of a married couple If the husband's card gives the residence the wife's sometimes omits It. it would seem to be more sensible, how ever, for every oue to put his or hut address on the visiting curd, as this often saves time and trouble and pre vents confusion. The ludv who looks over the contents of her curd receiver when arranging to seud out Invita tions may Inadvertently mix up mem bers of different families having the same name. For this reason, as well as for the sake of uniformity, which Is desirable lu these matters. It Is well to have the cards of the different members of one family living under the same roof engraved In the same style of lettering. It need scarcely be said that there should be only one style of lettering ou a card, although the address may be In smaller type than the name. It Is now the fashion to give at full length the numbers of the street and house unless these are so long as to look cumbrous. Twenty-seven West Seventeenth atreet. We cannot help suspecting that this style was Invented for the benefit of the stationer, since it Involves more work for tbe. eugraver and therefore more expensive for the purchaser than the simple figures. As It also has an appearance of affectation, we venture to predict that It will not lust many years. A man's visiting card should always bear the prefix "Mr." unless be ha some other title. A physician de scribes himself as "Dr." or "Doctor. a clergvman as "Reverend." If he Is a doctor of divinity be may add D. D. after his name. A Judge uses that term on bis card. For the members of tbe supreme court at Washington the correct title Is Mr. Justice Holmes. thus omitting the Christian name. Of fleers of the United States army and navy state tbelr rank as: Rear Admiral A B C-Commandant Naval Station United States Navy Newport. A lieutenant describes himself a "Mr.," although he may give his ran beneath bis name. If be is iu the ur my tbe regiment may be given also. MIHtia and otber complimentary titles are not used. There should be no "Mr." on a business card. . A school boy. uses no prefix tojiis name Hus band and wlftTbften bave a Joint card to send with wedding presents or to use for purposes of congratulation or condolence. Such a card is Dot often used for calling, except during tbe first year of marriage. Stops Neuralgia Pains Slum's Liniment has a soothing effect on the nerves.

The woman who Is Innntely dainty dislikes to remove her gloves when traveling by rail, for grimy and tin sightly Indeed does tbe band become in even a well protected drawing room coach. Some women carry old. loose gloves, which are drawn ou at tbe be ginning of the Journey and removed onlv in the dining car. For the same reason the hat should never be remov ed while traveling by rail unless chiffon veil is at hand to tie over the bair. It is so hard to keep tbe hair properly shampooed while traveling that the greatest care should be taken of It and tbe dust and soot of an all day railroad Journey will prnctl cally ruin Its condition, robbing It of Its luster and rendering it clogged. heavy and whlspy. A chiffon hood, made like an automobile hood and lin ed with thin silk will keep the balr clean on the train and at tbe same time be light, cool and comfortable When the end of the Journey Is reach ed a handful of powdered orris may be shaken over tbe balr and brushed out This will help to make the tresses clean and fluffy. Tbe Importance of a note of acknowl edgment not only of an invitation but of courtesy received cannot be over estimated, and tbe few graceful words of thanks for tbe pleasant evening please tbe hostess and gain for a guest the reputation of having been well brought up and also of being appre dative two most valuable assets. In these days, when attractive sta tionery can be bought for so little, every girl should take care to select at tractive note paper. Tbe coat of mark ing tbe address is also very trifling, and a dainty note, well written and well expressed, always makes a good Impression upon the recipient. Small note paper and tbe oblong cards should always be kept at band so there can be no excuse for not answering an In vitation promptly or In acknowledg ing acta of courtesy or kindness, and Just such trifling acts as these do more to make or mar a girl's popularity than she realize.

ORIGINAL WOOL SALE DATES NOT CHANGED Aealn It Is announced that there has been practically no change in the wool sales dates originally set by the Oregon Wool Growers' association. Under the date of April 23, Secretary John G. Hodke or the association writes: "I wish to advise wou that tho Ore gon Wool Growers aBsociuuuu una not chanced any dates, other than the date at Raker, Or., ror July 6, in order that Grant County growers can sell their wool and go to Port land to tbe Elks' grand lodge conven tion on the special leaving linker the 7th Instant. I am enclosing you a list of the dates as published which are In the hands of the buyers, and are perfectly satisfactory to them. 'In order to make tnis clear inese dates are subject to change at the time that buyers are in the field, as s has been done many times before; something may come up that will make It necessary to change them at that time. And furthermore, tne uuy er is always in touch and will know of these changes. I notice that Joseph was set ior June 25. when Itf fact the president of this association gave them the dates they preferred for their prospective rdaces. and no one has the right to make any changes other than announ ced before." ers nre becoming much more friend ly to tho open competition or sales than ever before. Tho date have now been mado so that they do not conflict WAR C0HE8 TO END Forecnsts or a lower price for mo hair than hud been paid heretofore this season, were confirmed by the sale made at Soduvlllo when tho Lel-anon-Sodavlllo pool was sold at pri vate sale or Theodore lierhelm & Co., at 30 cents a pound. That the war between buyers or mohair has come to an end Is Indicated by the fact that open bids at Sodavlllo salo were no higher than 35 and one-hair ! cents. This was not accepted by the pool managers and the offerings were later sold nt private salo. In all about 20,000 pounds were Included In the salo. Much Interest Is centering In tho snlo or the Dallas pool today. This being tho lurgcst pool in tbe Btate It Is but natural that bidding should be spirited. However, the fact -that the pool has not been sold to open bidders ior several scuBons lias eem' Ingly convinced some of the leading buyers that they cannot get it no mav ter how high they bid. For that rea son Borne say they are Inclined to cut out tho expense and stay at homo. Whether they will change their minds and take the morning train for the Polk county seat will only be shown by the bids there today. BUT PRICE IS SAME PRICE OF OREGON The movement of wool Is Increas ing but there has been no Improve ment In the price.
